Background Radiation, is folktronic pop. Tim Dwyer and Ludo Maas, both on different sides of the world, collaborate in a Postal Service like fashion through the internet. Moot Point is the ironically named follow-up to their ironically named debut, "False Start". Much like the first EP, these songs, layer acoustic tinkerings and mesh them with slow, electronic rhythm sections. "False Memories Take You By Surprise" is a short instrumental intro as if the opening credits to a film. Themes of film, space, and love come and go over the course of album from the folksy number "Give Me Light" to the ambient pop of "Double Negative". You'll hear lots of different influences in the EP from the almost National sounding "Motion Trees" to the David Sylvain-esque "Need The Constant".
